at the Peoples Mission on Capital
Hill, the occasion being concert
and exhibition. While there wit
Messing the exerciseses a very
handsome bouquet was presented
to lady, by gentleman, with
whom the BEE reporter had an
engagement to escort home. After
the exercises the BEE man was
presented with the flowers by the
lady which made the other fell
low mad who attempted to kill
the BEE man by cutting at him
with a razor, but fortunately the
Bee man snatched a fence rail
and knocked the culpurt out for
dead when last seen he was being
carried home in a hack. The BEE
reporter assailant was jealous of
the lady's attention she paid him.
The lady is very handsome and
is from one of the best families on
the hill. This ruffin is hardly
known to the lady.
